Stephen King said, "Writing is an act of self-hypnosis, and in that state a kind of total emotional recall takes place." THE DREAM STEALERS started out to be a long letter to my children, but as I got into the writing it evolved into a novel. I was able to relive all the sweet and bitter years of a half century ago. From the beautiful women, the club singing, the Navy camaraderie, and even the months I spent in a Naval hospital. As I delved into the writing, I could recall events and word for word conversations that I'd long ago forgotten. And then in my later years re-experiencing the preciousness of my first true love and the hurt of living the adage, "History tends to repeat itself." However, another adage applies: "Better to have loved and lost than to have never loved." "...let's just be glad we had some time to spend together..." {For The Good Times}
He has come a long way both literally and figuratively from his days as a poor shepherd boy in Tunisia, North Africa, but Ben Amor is a symbol of what can happen when you don't give up and chase the American Dream until it comes true. The successful career man reinvented himself again after a dream in 1983 of children crying because they were dying of starvation. Unable to forget the sound of children crying, he founded Terra-Genesis Inc., a nonprofit agency that began as a way to try to end world hunger through technology. The book tells how a young man's vision and passion lead him to chase the American Dream in spite of many challenges and people calling him "crazy". Ben has his own experience with overcoming the odds, a journey he intimately describes in The Urban Shepherd. He shares his joys-and his sorrows-from humble beginnings working hard to survive in Tunisia, serving in the Tunisian Air Force, and moving to the United States to live. Through sharing his personal journey adjusting to a new culture, toxic relationships, professional and personal setbacks, and balancing school, work, and family life, Ben aims to empower readers to chase and reach the American Dream.

Staying perseverant in pursuit of a dream can be challenging, especially when one starts out with meager resources, lack of experience, and a continuous barrage of personal and professional setbacks. The Urban Shepherd takes you on an engaging journey through the souks of Tunisia, North Africa, to the bustle of the San Antonio, Texas, with its Alamo and Riverwalk.

Big, Big Dreamer unequivocally your time is now! As a big, big dreamer creating a legacy that will live forever, you may be broke, broken or breaking. You maybe a single mum alla J K Rowling who in 1997 as you may know was living in a rented flat, surviving on part-time earnings and benefits and just eleven months later securing a hugely lucrative publishing deal that gave her the freedom to create a big, big dream that will live forever. Because you see when you're holding big, big dreams neither your colour, sex, money, status or your health matters because dreaming big dreams and making them happen every day is an unalienable right, a freedom to all. Yet Its true isn't it, that we operate within and out of parallel universes with conflicting energies, danger and chaos at every turn oft accompanied by brief snatches of joy, love and passion unimaginable, but still we can't seem to escape the dread that at any moment we may be!
